Mission Viejo, California, United States
Title: Project Specialist (SC - Case Manager) Job Category: NBU Job Opening Date: March 20, 2024 Job Closing Date: June 30, 2024 Locations: Saddleback College Department: Pay Grade, for more information click on this link: https://www.socccd.edu/departments/human-resources/contracts-and-salary-schedules Pay Type: Hourly Hours Per Week: 0 Job Description: Under the supervision of the department Director or Dean, and the day-to-day direction of the Program Coordinator, the Case Manager will assess, define, and promote early identification of students in need of basic needs resources. The Case Manager will assess, plan, implement, monitor, and evaluate the actions required to address barriers preventing academic, behavioral, attendance, and social-emotional success. The Case Manager will not serve in a clinical capacity (i.e., provide psychotherapy to students), but will perform case management duties, facilitate referral access and service utilization, and address any questions or concerns originating from student. The Case Manager will assist students who need resources to appropriate on- and off-campus programs. DISTINGUISHING CHARACTERISTICS The Basic Needs division at Saddleback College serves student populations that experience unique challenges accessing nuanced support. These students require specialized support navigating federal, state, county, and local eligibility criteria to access resources that are oftentimes beyond the capacity of traditional community college programs and personnel. Help-seeking behaviors amongst these student populations can be limited due to the sensitivity of their identities. The ever-changing nature of law and policy can lend itself to unclear eligibility criteria which can negatively impact these students. Thus, access to these resources and services, or lack thereof, often shape the experiences of students and impact their academic trajectory, motivation, sense of self-efficacy and hope. The Case Manager will be familiar with special student populations such as foster youth, undocumented/Dreamer, LGBTQ+, formally incarcerated, parenting student, Latinx, first generation Black or African American student populations to contribute to the overall aim of supporting the holistic well-being of students to foster their success. Common student referrals to the Case Manager may include, but are not limited to: • Students experiencing food/housing/clothing/hygiene insecurities. • Students experiencing other personal and/or emotional challenges. • Students experiencing a major life change (traumatic or otherwise) that may be affecting their academic achievement. • Any referral submitted by faculty/staff for a student requiring non-mental health services. REPRESENTATIVE DUTIES • Coordinate and provide case-management services that are safe, timely, effective, efficient, equitable, and client-centered to individual students. • Conduct non-clinical assessment and plan that includes, but is not limited to, facilitate steps, remove barriers, determine eligibility, and navigate through complicated organizational processes. • Learn about and establish connections with off-campus and on-campus resources and agencies that provide services to targeted student populations. Maintain and update a centralized repository of on-campus and off-campus resources and services. • Manage and evaluate crises by helping the student make informed decisions and act as their advocate regarding their status, housing, academic, health, well-being, and treatment options. • Facilitate multiple care-aspect (case coordination, information sharing, follow-up, monitoring). • Take the extra mile and interact with the student to keep track of their progress and to ensure satisfaction. • Maintain accurate and timely case records (forms, referrals, and follow-up). • Record and maintain data collection and assessment related to the development of case management plans, outcomes, and statistical reports. • Design and implement interventions that will help students meet academic and personal goals. • Participate in relevant community outreach and on-campus committees. • Provide in-service training to staff on related topics. • Help students achieve wellness, service utilization, and increase autonomy. • Adhere to professional standards as outlined by protocols, rules, and regulations.
